I Was Expelled From the Hero’s Party, but Because I Can Create Legendary-Class Items, My Territory Has Become the Strongest. C167

"Alchemy Chapter 167: Hero's Point of View: Franz's Location"

You can buy land even without cash?

How much of this guy's story should I believe?

Commonly speaking, it's impossible.

If that's the case, he must have taken a gold coin from me and made up a story.

No, anyone would be suspicious.

But since I paid a gold coin, I'll listen a little more.

"I don't understand what you mean. You're saying that there is land in this world that can be bought even if you don't have money."

"Sir, it seems that there is. Earl Clear is one of the wealthiest people in the country of Turband. He owns a lot of land. I'm jealous. I'd like to have just a little bit of it. Anyway, Earl Clear has a territory in a very remote location, far from the royal capital, and it seems that this territory is a wasteland that cannot be used no matter how much money and manpower you put into it. It's not suitable for farming, there's no water, and it's useless. On top of that, it's said that a legendary monster was seen near the territory, and there is no one to manage the territory, It's a cursed land. Well, the legendary monster thing is just an urban legend. Count Clear had been troubled by the land for many generations. Then, a man named Franz made a contract to buy the cursed land for practically nothing. From Count Clear's point of view, he was paying management fees and property taxes just for owning the land, so I heard he wanted to sell it for free."

"What useless far-flung borderland? What is he planning to do with it?"

Even if it's true that Count Clear sold the borderland, what is the point of buying a useless land?

I wonder if Franz would go to such trouble.

He's just a useless low-ranked alchemist, but it's possible that he wanted to go far away from me.

It's possible that he's a different person, but it's worth searching for.

"I'm sorry if this is not the person you're looking for. Also, it seems that Franz was kicked out of the hero's party, but that's probably a lie."

"Thanks, that was helpful."

I had been listening to the information from someone who I thought was a careless person, but he left me with some unbelievable words at the end.

The only person who could have been kicked out of the hero's party was that Franz.

It was definitely Franz himself.

Leaves the slums.

"I'm shocked! If he said he was kicked out of the hero's party, it must be that Franz."

"If that sounds like a random story, it's Franz. There's no one else but Franz, Gratias?"

"It must be Franz. I don't know what his purpose is, but if he's in that remote territory, I'll go. There's something I want to ask him. Make him explain if he cursed me or something."

After leaving the slums, Feinel and Misha were relieved, but they were surprised to hear that it was Franz.

Me too.

"If Gratias goes, I'll go. It seems like it's far away though. Maybe he went all the way to the border to get away from Gratias. If you think about it, Gratias must really be hated."

"I agree, he hates and resents Gratias. Franz looked in disbelief when he banished him. If we investigate, we can pinpoint the location. He'll probably travel by carriage."

"Okay, let's get started preparing to leave right away."

"Before that, I want to tell Gratias, you showed me what was under my skirt, which is terrible."

"Oh, that's it. It's fine if you show it."

"No way!!"

It felt good going from the slums of the royal capital to the upper class area.

We live in a high class inn in the upper class area.

We move and relocate a lot, so we use high class inns.

It was a world of difference from the lowest level slums.

I gave him two gold coins, but I got the information.

After that, I looked into the frontier territory that Count Clear had sold, and found that it actually existed.

And as I had heard, it turned out that he had sold it simply because it was natural.

It wasn't fake information.

Hahahaha, remember that Franz, I'll go there.

You'll be surprised when you see my face.

Hahaha, if you ran away from me and went to the frontier territory, you're a complete idiot.

It's far away, but you can get there if you travel by carriage.

Hold on, alchemist!!
